It's hard to show the grade of Bikewalker Hill in a photo, but this one does it about as well as any. 😈🤘

Editing the photos from this weekend and came across this one that really shows a lot of what was going on downtown in Russell on Saturday in one frame:
The winner of the women's masters 100K is getting a beer from Dry Lake Brewing (foreground), as a rider crosses the finish line to the applause of the Wicked Fest attendees. Kids have their faces painted. A finisher is getting a massage and help stretching in the background.
What a great day... 😊

Well said. ❤🤘
"Never let your fear decide your fate."
PS - Open Range is another solid race in a *very* unique part of Kansas! Check 'em out!

Are you challenging yourself ever day? We all have something we can work on and if you can't identify it, humility might be yours.

Every day is a new day. A new day to start. A new day to identify a change. Do you have a habit you do and don't know why? Good Habits are tough to build and bad habits even harder to break. Don't let fear of the unknown be a habit that breaks you.
